Santa Rosa, United States Cavalier Workforce, Inc. Full time
  • The PMTC Plate Shop is part of the dynamic team at Keysight building state of the art technology. The plating shop adds precious metals to parts that will protect them from corroding and activate their conductivity. The parts increase in value greatly while in the plate shop due to the addition of the metals and the function of the part. Electroplating is an area that requires extreme attention to detail to avoid damaging a product at the last step prior to shipping and coordination to ensure we meet customer expectations.

    To increase our team's ability to keep up with customer demand we need to have skilled individuals prep the parts for plating and assist with the final processing. These tasks can include opening parts, combining like parts for processing, using wire to string parts to a frame, removing parts from a frame, sorting good parts from plating media, as well as incoming or final inspection. This position is a support role for the plate shop but could be expanded to include plating of parts, deburring parts, removing parts from frames, packaging and final inspection.

    The plate shop is considered a wet process since all the parts are submerged into a collection of chemical tubs or baths in a specific order to achieve the desired outcome. The chemicals in the room are hazardous/poisonous, while there are controls in place to minimize the risk to operators and PPE is provided, the area still demands a great deal of caution while working.

    Electroplating relies heavily on documentation but the operators are responsible for finding the area of the parts to be plated in order to apply the electro current for the appropriate amount of time. Operators work closely with engineering to ensure the documentation supports the production of quality products. Prior to adding value to the parts and before the final product leaves the shop operators must inspect the parts using varying magnification to identify and weed out defects.

    There is a great deal of cross training that can happen inside or outside of this department, the right person will have the drive to produce, the ability to produce and the attitude to succeed.

    Preferred:
    • Familiarity with Microsoft Excel and Outlook.
    • Ability to inspect for cosmetic defects with and without microscope.
    • Familiar with blueprint drawings and work instructions.
    • Strong willingness to learn
    • Familiarity with deburring small parts
    • Eye for detail
    Incremental responsibilities should the candidate successfully perform in the above job categories:
    • Candidate be comfortable working with chemicals that are considered hazardous/poisonous.
    • Must have the ability to perform math at a pre-algebra level in order to calculate equations for processes.
    • Must have effective verbal and written skills, enabling effective interaction with co-workers, engineers, maintenance techs and management team.
    • Must have the comprehension skills to follow processing instructions, both formal and informal, and must have the ability to learn and retain instructions/information given.
    • Must be detailed oriented in order to minimize mistakes and maintain a positive attitude when mistakes occur.

    • Must be able to lift a plating rack with parts into the chemical bath safely (about 12-15lbs)
